    If I don't keep my AC on in Florida will I get mold?
    I leave my home in Florida empty for 6 months and have been told I need to keep the air condointing on, is this true and why? Also if I do need to keep it on what temp can I set highest?

    Thanks,

    There is NO hard and fast rule on this subject but if your area is damp then leaving the A/C on is cheap insurance against mold. Mold can damage many items quickly and the cost will be much higher than any utility bills for running the A/C.

    Should I run my AC during summer?
    I leave my house for at least 6 months during the summer in Florida.

    Should I have my AC on? I have heard if I don't I will get mold?

    If I have to leave it on, how long per day?

    What temp?

    Thanks,

    Andy
